Winter Transfer Missed Opportunities and Regrets

[Letters]

Chelsea have bid the 105m release clause for Enzo Fernandez and they’re close to agreeing terms.

They’ve basically bought an entire team in one window. Fucking mental expenditure.

Financial Fair Play
Honestly, what's the point?

[selassie]

A glorified Denilson who was one of the key players for Italy when they won the Euros less than two years ago. Jesus the whinging of some people . Someone with loads of premier league experience, who we can rest Partey for in the less demanding games.

Jorginho is on his last legs. He will come on high wages too, what does he even add to our team?

Chelsea must be rubbing their hands, they look set to sell us a "clapped out" player, whilst they refresh their midfield with world class young talent, they will probably sign Caicedo tomorrow too.

What does he add to the team? Backup which is what we need

Who gives a fuck who Chelsea sign. They are going to be in a position where they won’t be able to play some of these players in the premier league because of squad size.

They aren’t even going to finish in the top four, and they are spending their way to financial ruination. Frankly the way they are going if they do sign Caicedo we can both him and Mudryk off them two years down the line when they have to hold a fire sale.

Caicedo would be a long term signing of the kind we can make in the summer with more options and time. At the moment we need back up for Partey

I don't think we are capable of completing these high profile deals for young players. We couldn't complete the Mudryk deal, can't complete the Caicedo deal, I have been reading Chelsea are going back in for Caicedo tomorrow, I bet you if they do they will sign Caicedo tomorrow.

All this talk of us going for Rice in the Summer, not a chance we sign him if other big clubs are in the mix.

He is on his last legs and will come on high wages, we have been burnt before with Chelsea cast offs, I don't want us going anywhere near him. We will be stuck with him on high wages and he will be near impossible to move on.

I don't care about who Chelsea sign, but it disappoints me when we spend the best part of this window messing about not securing our primary targets only for them to swoop in and sign them instantly.

Again it depends on the length of the contract, if we sign him on a five year contract then yeah obviously that would be fucking stupid. But his contract runs out end of the season, get him for a nominal fee offer him decent wages until the end of the season…he fucks off back to Italy we’ve had experienced cover for our most important player.

Chelsea probably don’t have the squad space to sign Caicedo, they might have to sell players or send them out on loan just to bring in Fernandez.

[HCZ_Reborn]

And PSG are in talks to sign Hakim Ziyech which tells you that Chelsea are already trying to free up squad space

I don't think Chelsea will be doing us any favours if we pursue Jorginho, they will try and take us to the cleaners with the fee irrespective of his contract length. Not only that, but I don't think he is even suitable for our team, he is absolutely nothing like Partey, he is slow, struggles to beat the press and can't tackle.

I would have been for it a couple of years ago when we were trying to fix the team, but we are in a different phase now and he is absolutely on the wane now. I would rather we persist with Sambi than bring in Jorginho and i am being deadly serious.

I’m sure you are but that’s an utterly ridiculous point of view. Jorginho is an experienced player who can play defensive midfield or a deep lying playmaker role. Sambi Lokonga is a league one level player

Yeah and we could be in the same situation as Liverpool come this time next season by having to rebuild our entire Midfield. The Midfield is experienced enough, we need young talent in there.
